Michigan – Water Winter Wonderland

What a great weekend we had to celebrate the 4th of July in Michigan.  Our thanks and prayers continue to go out to our servicemen and their families for the sacrifices they make so that we can enjoy our many freedoms.

Michigan has a pretty bruised image right now.  The national media continually shows Detroit decimated and deserted where shattered glass and burned out houses are depicted as the norm.  We have the highest unemployment in the country, and have been riding an economic tsunami for 6 years.

What they fail to picture is the vast resources of our state.  Remember 1965 – 1967 when the license plates read “Water Winter Wonderland?”  The barrage of negativity cannot nullify the amazing and diverse recreational experiences that Michigan offers.  In Michigan you can experience beaches, boating, mountain biking, fishing, hiking, camping, kayaking and more in some of the most beautiful forests and waterways in the country.  Take your family and take your camera.

The national media also fails to reflect the resilience, talent and work ethic of Michigan workers.  Eikenhout, which is a Michigan company, believes in this state and continues to invest in our local communities.  We recently purchased a 66,000 sq ft. abandoned foundry in Petoskey, and have completely remodeled it along with a large new show room.  This is to better serve our customers.  The dust settled and we moved in on June 25th while the Grand Opening will be July 29.

Eikenhout is striving to stay lean and efficient while working to be your best equipped partner.  When you work with Eikenhout your dollars stay in Michigan, get invested in Michigan and produce jobs in Michigan.  To all of you we call “our customers,” we say thank you for your loyalty.  To those of you who have not yet worked with us, we ask you to give us a try and let us team together to rebuild Michigan and its reputation.

Now go enjoy our great state.
